Why is Obama's immigration reform still unfolding? There are three issues affecting immigration reform: Democrats, Republicans and Latino Leaders. Two prominent Latino leaders,Julián Castro and Henry Cisneros, share their thoughts on the subject.
Many republicans suggest tabling reform until next year because it will not benefit them in the 2014 elections; as many House Republicans reside over white-majority districts.
Although President Barack Obama and many others have recently made it a key priority to push immigration reform in the tail end of the year, House Speaker John Boehner squashed all hopes of progress before 2014.
Barack Obama called Republicans out, on Thursday, for compromising a government shutdown, and possibly causing a debt default, in their newest attempt to oust Obamacare.
